National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 25-64 is developing a resource handbook for state transportation agencies on considering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change in environmental reviews, including reviews required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as well as any reviews conducted per state requirements or guidance. To develop the handbook, the project team is soliciting input from state transportation agency staff on your agency’s current approach to considering GHG and climate effects, as well as anticipated future approaches and information needs. We are providing this brief survey to all 52 State DOTs and will follow up with a subset of states for more detailed interviews and workshop participation.


  1. Does your agency (i.e. the state DOT) have an established set of procedures or guidance for considering GHG emissions and/or climate change effects as part of environmental review conducted under NEPA and/or per state environmental review requirements?

Image Yes

Image No

Image Under Development


  1. Does your state have any state-specific environmental review requirements?

Image Yes – includes requirements for considering GHG emissions and/or climate change effects

Image Yes – does not include requirements for considering GHG emissions or climate change effects

Image No


  1. Has your agency developed any environmental documentation (e.g., Environmental Assessment, Environmental Impact Statement, Community Impact Assessment) for any project(s) in the past 10 years that quantifies GHG emissions?

Image Yes

Image No

Image Not Sure


  1. Would you be interested in participating in an interview and/or virtual workshop with the NCHRP 25-64 project team in the fall of 2021 to further discuss your current approach and anticipated needs with respect to consideration of GHG emissions and climate change in environmental documentation?
